Obtaining an amateur radio license: Free online resources?

[bituerbo]

Looking to get my operators license - are there any free online ebooks or courses I can read up on to study?

Any help is much appreciated!

You might want to consider doing some online radio stuff too. Shoutcast (by NULLsoft) is one of the most versatile and available internet radio streaming mechanisms available.

THANK YOU! Your link helped me in finding EXACTLY what I was looking for: http://www.emergencyradio.ca/course/

Free course material in PDF/PPT format!
I have the question generator, but I really want to learn the 'why' and not just memorize the correct answers.
